Laura & David – Derwent Manor Wedding

DERWENT MANOR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Derwent Manor Wedding Photography was a first for me last weekend. I always enjoy the challenges of photographing a wedding at a new venue and I’m not ashamed to admit that I get a little excited at the prospect of capturing someones big day at a new venue….its almost like a blank canvas!!

Situated in 20 acres of Northumberland Countryside overlooking the Derwent Valley, Derwent Manor proved to be the perfect setting for Laura & David’s sunny spring wedding.

Here’s a peak at how their big day unfolded…

“Thank you Nigel for the amazing photos we have received of our special day. We couldn’t be happier, not a moment missed. Highly recommended xxx” – Laura & David
